Toward the end of remarks, Ashley Biden reached for the hand of her mother, the first lady, who was seated next to her.When Biden concluded, those assembled applauded. Jill Biden then walked to the Resolute Desk and stood next to her husband. “This has been the honor of a lifetime,” the president said.No American incumbent president has dropped out of the race so late in the process.
